Background We examined the human toll and subsequent humanitarian crisis resulting from Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on 24 February 2022. Method extracted analysed data military attacks Ukrainians between 4 August The tracked direct deaths injuries, damage to healthcare infrastructure impact health, destruction residences, infrastructure, communication systems, utility services – all disrupted lives Ukrainians. Results As 2022, 5552 civilians were killed outright 8513 injured in...
Severe dengue occurrence has been attributed to increasing age and different virus (DENV) serotypes that cause secondary infections immune-enhancing phenomena. Therefore, we examined if the effect of on severity was mediated by infectivity status while controlling for sex region. Further, assessed spatial clustering individuals with primary infection across Mexican municipalities. Health data from 2012 2017 retrieved Mexico's Ministry Health. A mediation analysis performed using multiple...
Few studies have investigated whether SARS-CoV-2 infections increase the incidence of dengue haemorrhagic fever/shock syndrome (DHF/DSS) and/or severe (SD) in virus (DENV)-infected patients. This study was performed on a site with high incidences classical dengue, but relatively few DHF/DSS or SD cases as defined by WHO 1997 2009 criteria, respectively. Clinical, haematological/biochemical, and viral diagnostic data were collected from febrile patients before, during, after COVID-19 epidemic...
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect all countries across globe, this study seeks investigate relationship between nations' governance, national data, and nation-level vaccination coverage. National-level governance indicators (corruption index, voice accountability, political stability, absence of violence/terrorism), officially reported data (cases, death, tests per one million population), coverage was considered for predict morbidity mortality. Results indicate a strong data....
ABSTRACT Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the spatial and temporal patterns disease prevalence clusters dengue (DENV), chikungunya (CHIKV) Zika (ZIKV) virus how socio-economic climatic variables simultaneously influence risk rate occurrence infection in Mexico. Methods To determine spatiotemporal clustering effect covariates on Mexico, we applied correlation methods, seasonal trend decomposition using locally estimated scatterplot smoothing, hotspot analysis conditional...
Knowledge of dengue fever and perceived self-efficacy toward prevention does not necessarily translate to the uptake mosquito control measures. Understanding how these factors (knowledge self-efficacy) influence measures in Mexico is limited. Our study sought bridge this knowledge gap by assessing individual-level variables that affect use A cross-sectional survey with 623 participants was administered online from April July 2021. Multiple linear regression multiple logistic models were used...
Pregnancy increases a woman's risk of severe dengue. To the best our knowledge, moderation effect dengue serotype among pregnant women has not been studied in Mexico. This study explores how pregnancy interacted with from 2012 to 2020 Mexico.Information 2469 notifying health units Mexican municipalities was used for this cross-sectional analysis. Multiple logistic regression interaction effects chosen as final model and sensitivity analysis done assess potential exposure misclassification...
Pathogen strain diversity is an important driver of the trajectory epidemics. The role bioclimatic factors on spatial distribution dengue virus (DENV) serotypes has, however, not been previously studied. Hence, we developed municipality-scale environmental suitability maps for four using maximum entropy modeling. We fit climatic variables to municipality presence records from 2012 2020 in Mexico. Bioclimatic were explored their different DENV serotypes, and distributions visualized three...
